The NBA Summer League offers entertainment but shouldn't be taken too seriously as an indicator of future NBA success, with historically misleading performances like Josh Selby outplaying Damian Lillard serving as a cautionary tale.
• Summer League stands for "Selling Unimportant Matchups Making Entertainment Revenue"
• Cooper Flagg and Bronny James' recent matchup highlights how narratives differ from actual performance
• Different competition, roles, schemes, and minutes make Summer League an imperfect predictor
• Josh Selby's dominance over Damian Lillard in Summer League never translated to NBA success
• WNBA should consider creating a Winter League to generate similar entertainment and storylines
• A Winter League could create opportunities for undrafted players, third-round picks, and college stars
• Bronny James could develop into a Drew Holiday-esque player despite skepticism
